Authentic training head launched for Afro hair

Award-winning hairstylist Dionne Smith has launched a new doll training head with authentically coiled Afro hair for use by students during training.

The Signature By Dionne Smith Ebony Training Doll now offers stylists and students the opportunity to enhance their skills with authentic looking hair texture that mimics the feel and consistency of 4A Afro hair.

Commenting on the launch of the Ebony training doll, Dionne Smith, Founder of the Signature By Dionne Smith collection, says: 

"We're targeting people that have never dealt with textured hair, touched it, felt it. People are scared of it.

"What we're offering is the fundamentals, like what is natural hair? What are the different types? Textured hair comes in so many different types and curl patterns so how do you understand what type of hair you're dealing with?

"So, we cover what the best products are for different hair types, and detangling - which is like the Bible for us: we can't do anything without first detangling it."

The Signature By Dionne Smith Ebony doll is available in colour 1B (off black) with a hair length of roughly 16 inches when stretched.
